Researchers from TUM, working at CERN, have made a groundbreaking discovery that reveals how deuterons are formed. Another long-standing question in particle physics has been answered. Scientists ...

Why do atomic nuclei, which should easily break apart, form more readily in extreme environments? This cosmic mystery, which ...

All experiments broke records in the final full operating year of the third run of the LHC. All four LHC experiments performed extremely well throughout the 2025 proton run, detecting more collisions ...

At the heart of every atomic nucleus, the strong interaction quietly dictates the structure of matter, yet for decades one of ...

Heavy collisions Artist’s impression charged particle tracks streaming from a collision of two uranium nuclei overlaid on a sketch of the STAR detector at RHIC. The incoming uranium nuclei are shown ...

In 2016, Earth’s South Pole was struck by a ghostly particle from some unknown corner of the universe. This antineutrino — the neutrino’s antimatter twin — collided with an electron at nearly the ...

First collisions at an upgrade to one of Japan’s premier particle-physics experiments are set to begin in April 2018. Following six years of work, the SuperKEKB accelerator will start smashing its ...

Physicists at the world’s leading atom smasher are calling for help. In the next decade, they plan to produce up to 20 times more particle collisions in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) than they do ...

Transverse spin asymmetries in high-energy particle collisions are a significant area of research in particle physics, particularly in understanding the internal structure of protons and the dynamics ...
